who_o thus_o suppose_v a_o corporeal_a god_n do_v also_o suppose_v a_o corporeal_a soul_n thus_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o ourselves_o we_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o divine_a

of_o such_o pleasure_n as_o be_v real_o below_o the_o true_a happiness_n of_o the_o soul_n by_o the_o body_n here_o i_o understand_v all_o those_o passion_n and_o affection_n of_o the_o mind_n which_o

the_o many_o charge_n bring_v against_o stoicism_n that_o of_o pride_n and_o arrogance_n seem_v the_o most_o obvious_a and_o the_o most_o unanswerable_a it_o natural_o tend_v to_o beget_v such_o

make_v their_o wise_a man_n far_o above_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v call_v mortal_a and_o in_o some_o respect_v equal_a to_o god_n himself_o as_o for_o repentance_n they_o look_v upon_o that_o as_o a_o mean_a thing_n far_o below_o the_o height_n of_o their_o attainment_n innocence_n indeed_o be_v better_a than_o repentance_n but_o for_o they_o to_o pretend_v unto_o it_o argue_v a_o great_a

perhaps_o they_o may_v fancy_v in_o their_o mind_n but_o

of_o the_o case_n before_o the_o fall_n it_o be_v proportionable_o the_o same_o since_o for_o though_o the_o fall_n do_v very_o much_o weaken_v our_o facultic_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o whole_o alter_v or_o invert_v the_o method_n of_o acquire_v or_o retain_v knowledge_n there_o be_v indeed_o some_o who_o define_v a_o idea_n to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o similitude_n or_o representation_n of_o a_o thing_n make_v in_o the_o brain_n which_o definition_n be_v so_o peculiar_o appropriate_v to_o mere_a sense_n and_o fancy_n they_o can_v conceive_v any_o idea_n or_o conception_n to_o

though_o it_o may_v be_v just_o question_v whether_o the_o mode_n of_o sensation_n be_v yet_o full_o and_o clear_o explicate_v viz._n how_o the_o fancy_n can_v represent_v outward_a object_n in_o proportionable_a similitude_n to_o the_o superior_a perceptive_a faculty_n see_v perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v very_o difficult_a to_o demonstrate_v that_o any_o thing_n beside_o motion_n can_v be_v communicate_v to_o the_o seat_n of_o the_o soul_n yet_o i_o shall_v at_o present_a grant_n that_o the_o understanding_n do_v make_v use_n of_o the_o representation_n of_o the_o fancy_n for_o the_o

the_o question_n be_v whether_o the_o understanding_n can_v frame_v right_a notion_n or_o apprehesion_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o according_a to_o our_o mode_n of_o conception_n neither_o be_v

soul_n shall_v always_o frame_v its_o notion_n according_a to_o the_o notice_n of_o sense_n this_o will_v only_o betray_v it_o into_o error_n but_o now_o when_o it_o abstract_n from_o this_o and_o
